BloemWe are in the process of arranging a visit/tour at the Bloemendal (now Meyerton) transmission station on January the 17th
(Saturday), with the help of Jaap ZS6SAI. Any interested members can contact the webmaster so that he can relay the numbers, cut-off date Dec 12. Some have also expressed interest in visiting the Meyerton station in the morning and then Hartrao in the afternoon - not sure whether we should rather split it (Meyerton in Jan and Hartrao in Feb), but perhaps those interested in joining could comment whether they'd like to do both in one day or not. We can also look at renting a micro bus for transport.
Details of the Meyerton station is below, and a schedule of all their transmissions at this link
